New fear for flood-hit Thais: Green mambas

Thu, 11/03/2011 - 12:16 — Anonymous A couple of weeks ago we were worried
about escaped crocodiles. Now flood-hit Nonthaburi, on the outskirts of
Bangkok, is dealing with another breed of deadly fugitives -- 15 green
mambas. Officials announced Wednesday that 15 highly venomous African snakes
-- two adults and 13 young -- escaped from a flooded building in
Nonthaburi's Pak Kret district on Tuesday night. The adults are reportedly
two meters long, while the young ones measure one meter in length. var
